Flowers can't care for you

The rose does not want
your water. It wants the sky’s.
It needs even less
sappy poems to it. Its ads
the petals jingle for bees.

francis,
if there was ever something called an original...this is it...thoroughly unique...did you wak up at the wrong side of the bed or the world whole together...because you have made a decent mystical journey through this for sure...oo how happy the rose would be to thank you...but lets not mention it again...

I woke up inside a bed of roses, which was the right side for me but the wrong side for the roses, I think :).
